“Can you say Robots?”

Or the old Hew York-style lunchenetts, where food was behind a glass door, and you paid and opened it to get your sammich. Easily done with credit/debit cards.

Back in 1962 we had a whole bank of machines in our lunch area that contained sandwiches and deserts - and this was in Kansas City. As I remember it was generally pretty good food, at least the first three days of the week.

Those were the Automats—not luncheonettes. What a treat for a child to get cherry jello with real whipped cream on top. I was too young to pay but it may only have been 5 cents.
